We're not sure exactly what breed he is. They say the mom was mostly beagle but she was a mix as well. The pups were found abandoned, covered in fleas, and full of worms with their mom. The mom didn't make it, but all 5 of the pups got adopted. Ours is the runt of the litter and the only one that has fluffy fur. The rest have very short coats. He's awesome and we love him.
